The channels the founder filled in on Revenue record are very complete: blog, content marketing, newsletter, SEO, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, email marketing, referral program. The website has a weekly newsletter, Playbooks (6 topics), long-form Essays, and guides, and the founder's X account has about 2,400 followers. Existing clients stay in touch through the membership and the newsletter.
